To understand the relationship between coat color inheritance patterns and genotypes of Extension( E) and Agouti( A) loci in cattle, the genotypes for melanocortin-1 receptor( MC1R) and agouti signaling protein ( ASIP) were analyzed in Hanwoo, Jeju black cattle (JBC), and their crossbred progeny. Three MC1R alleles ( E D , E?, and e) were found in the black-colored JBC population. JBC had no recessive homoygotes (e/e), but this genotype was predominant in the Hanwoo breed. However, MC1R E?/eHanwoo did not produce a black coat color as they appeared either as brown or solid red. For ASIP, three genotypes ( A/A, A/A Br , and A Br /A Br ) were determined by insertion/deletion of an L1-BT element in Hanwoo. The ASIP A Br allele was rarely observed, and no ASIP A Br /A Br homozygotes were detected in the JBC population. Cattle carrying ASIP ABr did not show any agouti-like brindle pigmentation patterns in either breed or their progeny. The coat colors of the crossbred progeny were discriminated by two colors, yellowish-brown versus dark-brown or black, and their coat colors were directly related to the genotypes of the Extensionlocus, yellowish-brown (e/e) and dark-brown or black (E?/e), but not to the Agouti locus. ASIP genotypes probably did not affect coat color development in the Hanwoo or crossbred progeny. Our results suggest that the ASIP genotypes do not play key roles in coat color variation, but the MC1R genotypes do direct the phenotypes of Hanwoo, JBC, and their progeny.
